    Anyone here have any recommendations for alignment shops near Cedar Rapids that would be familiar with doing an alignment on a lifted truck with Light Racing UCA's?

    Trying to avoid having to spend time explaining to an alignment tech how to do an alignment, having them get it wrong, and then having to explain it to them again.

    That would have been about my 3rd guess as a shit hole that you may have encountered. my second guess would have been the dirty dodge (ft dodge).

    You can buy a lifetime alighnment through firestone, I have a lifted truck, but I don’t have the racing UCA’s. Either way they aligned mine and pretty well too.
